Accompanying  the  portraits  is  an  extremely  interesting  letter  from  the 
younger  Seymour  in  relation  to  them.  "/  Understand  that  you  consider 
tJieir  chief  interest  to  he  derived  from  their  (my  father  and  inotJicr's) 
episodical  relation  to  the  History  of  Mr.  C.  Dickens,  and  tJiis  considera- 
tion lias  made  me  long  hesitate  to  offer  these  cherished  mementoes  for

inafion  in  which  the  late  Mr.  Dickens  is  held  by  the  reading  public,  but 
because  I  feel  a  natural  desire  that  the  book  should  go  into  the  hands 
of  some  one  of  those  admirers  of  my  father  s  talents  who  zvould  treasure 
it  zi'ithont  regard  to  Pickzvickian  consideration,  and  it  is  zuith  this  hope 
that  I  am  at  length  zvilling  to  part  zvith  it.  Yours  very  truly,  R.  Sey-

*  This  famous  book,  which  gave  birth  to  the  greater  part  (if  the  chivalrous 
literature  of  France,  and  which  may  be  considered  as  the  fountain  head  of  French 
poetry,  was  commenced  towards  the  end  of  the  13th  Century  by  Guillaume  de 
Lorris,  and  was  finished  at  the  beginning  of  the  14th  Century  by  Jehan  de  Meung. 
Its  appearance  in  print  towards  the  close  of  the  15th  Century  gave  rise  to  some 
disturbance  in  the  realm  of  Gallantry,  and  the  poets  engaged  in  hot  tournament 
in  honour  of  the  ladies,  which  inspired  several  writings  which  have  remained 
famous.  The  most  important  of  these  was  the  poem  entitled  "Le  Champion  des 
Dames,"  which  had  a  great  success.     Magnificent  copy.     See  Illustration.

Pieautiful  copy  of  the  first  edition:  from  the  C.  V>.  Footc  Collection,  with 
booki)lates.  An  intcrcstiufj  commendatory  verse  by  John  Dryden  (S  pp.)  is  pre- 
fixed to  this  volume.  Mr,  Malone  in  his  Life  of  Drider  (p.  8),  has  entered  into 
a  minute  disfpiisition  on  the  orthography  of  the  poet's  name  which  is  said  to  have 
been  altered  from  Driden  to  Dryden  in  1650:  but  this  volume  evinces  that  the 
early  spelling  was  ret.ained  ten  years  after  the  time  Mr.  Malone  supposed  it  to 
have  been  given  uj).  The  poet  was  certainly  the  Hrst  of  his  family  that  introduced 
the  letter  "Y"  in  the  surname,  and  thereby  gave  great  ofifense  to  some  of  his 
relations.

158.  TLLITMINATED  VELLUM  MANUSCRIPT.  Rccneil  de 
Giants  Royaux.  Ballades,  Dialogues  et  Oraisons  en  Thonnenr  de  la 
Sainte  Vierge.  French  manuscript  of  the  beginning  of  the  Sixteenth 
Century,  written-  on  24  leaves  of  the  finest  vellum,  containing  4  beau- 
tiful full-page  miniatures  in  gold  and  colors,  and  profusely  decorated 
zvifh  illuminated  initials.  8vo,  full  red  levant  morocco  extra  in- 
laid with  an  interlaced  mosaic  design  of  maroon  levant,  in  the  man- 
ner of  Golier,  gilt  mosaic  back,  double  with  green  levant  morocco  fully

*  The  four  large  miniatures  which  ornament  this  manuscript  represent  the 
Songs  of  the  ".Annunciation"  the  "Chant  de  la  MagdaJcine,"  the  oration  "O  hone 
Jens,"  and  the  "Oraisona  niadanie  sainctc  Barbel"  The  figures  of  the  Virgin,  of 
Magdalen  and  St.  Rarbe  bear  a  marked  resemblance  to  each  other,  as  also  to  one 
of  the  men  kneelin£r  before  Jesus  and  St.  Barbe,  and  it  can  be  inferred  that  these 
miniatures  are  portraits  of  the  personages  for  whom  the  manuscript  was  executed. 
The  miniatures  are  not  only  very  finely  executed,  but  also  correctly  designed,  and 
show  the  work  of  a  skilful  artist,  probablv  a  pupil  of  Jean  Foucquet ;  moreover, 
they  are  in  the  finest  condition.  The  different  poetical  pieces  to  the  number  of 
Ti  which  compose  this  manuscript,  are  almost  all  entirely  in  the  honor  of  the 
Virgin,  and  constitute  an  interesting  and  unique  book  of  Hours  of  the  Immaculate 
Conception.     The  following  is  a  list  of  the  11  poetic  pieces  and  Dyalogues,

First  Edition  and  the  lirst  of  Longfellow's  work  written  in  his  Cani])ridge 
Home,  Craigie  House.  Laid  in  is  an  exceedingly  interesting  and  long  Autograph 
Letter  from  Longfellow  to  George  W.  Greene,  giving  him  his  own  opinion  of 
Hyperion  and  of  its  reception  by  the  Critics.      He  says: 

"I  have  been  rending  asunder  some  of  the  Boston  cobwebs  of  prejudice  .  .  . 
by  publishing  a  strange  kind  of  a  book  which  I  have  the  audacity  to  call  a  Romance. 
The  Boston  papers  are  very  savai^c,  and  abuse  me  slioctiiuiily :  for  all  of  which  I 
am  very  glad;  inasmuch  as  it  proves  to  me  that  the  book  is  i^ODd.  ...  It 
has  had  a  iine  run  and  a  large  edition  sold  in  a  few  weeks.  I  haye  row  in 
Press  a  volume  of  poems,  under  title  'Voices  of  the  Night,"  containing  all  I  have 
written  since  my  residence  here — some  of  my  earlier  pieces  and  some  translations. 
Hyperion  is  as  nuich  a  Romance  as  Childe  Harold  or  the  Roman  de  la 
Rose.

Southey's  Annotated  Copy  for  the  Press. 

287.  SOUTHEY,  ROBERT.  Palmcrin  of  England.— The  Fa- 
mous History  of  the  noble  and  valiant  Prince  Palmerin  of  Eng- 
land— declaring  his  birth  and  Prince  Florian  Du  Desart — the 
course  of  their  lives — IN  pursuing  knightly  adventures  and  doing 
incomparable  deeds  of  chivalry — Translated  out  of  French  by 
A.  M.  Two  parts,  extended  to  three  volumes.  Small  4to,  full  olive  mo- 
rocco gilt,  gilt  tops,  uncut.  London,  1664.  200.00 
*  The  copy  used  by  the  poet  Robert  Southey  in  makinl;  his  English 
edition,  published  in  iso/.  interleaved  with  4/3  leaves  of  writing  paper,  on 
WHICH  Southey  has  written  his  corrections  and  interpolations.  Many  correc- 
tions AND  directions  TO  THE  PRINTER  ARE  ALSO  WRITTEN  ON  THE  MARGINS  OF  THE 
text  and  THE  EXCISIONS  POINTED  OUT.  INSERTED  IS  A  MS.  NOTE  STATING  THAT  THIS 
COPY  WAS  A  GIFT  FROM  JOHN    PaYNE  CoLLIER. 

Palmerin  of  England  was  written  by  Don  Luis  de  Hertado,  and  is  ranked  as 
one  of  the  best  of  the  Romances  of  Chivalr}'  of  the  type  of  Amadis  de  Gaul.  When 
Cervantes  described  the  Cure  burning"  the  romances  of  Don  Quixote  he  expressly 
excepts  Pahnerin  of  England,  declaring  that  it  shall  be  put  among  the  relics  of 
antiquity  for  the  excellence  of  its  composition  and  adventures.  Many  English 
authors  have  praised  it,  and  Keats  classed  it  among  his  favorite  books.  See  Il- 
lustration.

*  "The  cry  of  an  agonized  soul  pent  within  a  tortured  body.  It  is  a  most  extra- 
ordinary production,  and  aflfords  to  the  keen  observer  some  insight  into  the  mental 
state  of  the  writer.  There  are  many  feeble  lines,  many  where  fervent  words  clothe 
a  trivial  conceit,  but  there  are  also  not  a  few  burning  thoughts  expressed  with  a 
mournful  dignity.  The  one  class  could  never  have  been  printed  in  W'ildc's  fortunate 
days;  they  would  have  been  scouted  by  his  fastidious  taste.  The  others  needed 
shame  and  suffering  as  teachers  before  they  could  have  been  conceived."

of  this  production  we  can  only  rcplv  that  as  far  as  we  have  any  it  is  an  honest  dis- 
like for  "Dorian  Gray,'  'Salome.'  'The  Yellow  Book,'  and  the  whole  of  the  Erotic,
